Shady Grove

Lyrics

[Verse 1] Peaches in the summertime Apples in the fall If I can't have the girl I love I don't want none at all [Chorus] Shady Grove, my little love Shady Grove, I know Shady Grove, my little love I'm bound for Shady Grove [Verse 2] I wish I had a banjo string Made of golden twine Every tune I'd play on it I wish that girl was mine [Chorus] Shady Grove, my little love Shady Grove, I know Shady Grove, my little love I'm bound for Shady Grove [Verse 3] I wish I had a needle and thread Finest I could sew Sew that pretty girl to my side And down the road I'd go [Chorus] Shady Grove, my little love Shady Grove, I know Shady Grove, my little love I'm bound for Shady Grove [Verse 4] Some come here to fiddle and dance Some come here to tarry Some come here to fiddle and dance I come here to marry [Chorus] Shady Grove, my little love Shady Grove, I know Shady Grove, my little love I'm bound for Shady Grove [Verse 5] Every night when I go home Wife, I try to please her The more I try, the worse she gets Damned if I don't leave her [Chorus] Shady Grove, my little love Shady Grove, I know Shady Grove, my little love I'm bound for Shady Grove [Chorus] Shady Grove, my little love Shady Grove, my darlin' Shady Grove, my little love I'm goin' back to Harlen Shady Grove, my little love Shady Grove, my darlin' Shady Grove, my little love I'm bound for Shady Grove
